EDIT: also I have 2 spare points on my gearing captain and I'm wondering if it would be an amazingly terrible idea to put torpedo acceleration on it. I'm thinking it probably is because I'm not sure that 5 knots is worth cutting the range down to 13.2 km but on the other hand I'm not sure how often I'm realistically going to use the full 16.5 km range.

Don't worry, there's plenty of 3000 game players that you probably have surpassed in game knowledge in those few days.

Captain retrains are discounted to 1 doubloon at the moment and there are missions to earn 100 doubloons. This is the perfect time to experiment.

The great wail of disapproval from the BB players has finally begun. Admittedly I haven't had a chance to play yet since the patch dropped but I have seen a lot of BB players whining on the forums about the decks on their US and IJN ships suddenly being able to be penned by 150mm+ HE because of the IFHE skill.

Well, with a 12 points captain you can get a benson with Demolition Expert, Basic Fire Training and that skill that gives you more HP :getin:

Not going the stealth route? I'd like to hear thoughts on that, since I spec'd my Mahan captain for superintendent and stealth (and health once I get my next captain point)

My idea is that US DDs are excellent anti destroyers and need not stealth, but rather close combat abilities.
Demolition expert helps against battleships and cruisers too. Concealment expert is good on paper but I never find myself really needing that extra stealth because I'm either shooting a destroyer or I'm sending torpedoes beyond spotting range.

This is just my opinion and my play style. If you prefer concealment, and make it work, don't force on yourself a playing style that you don't like.

I like concealment on my US DDs because of the closing distance. Their guns are less effective at range so the closer in I can start the engagement, the better I do, especially if they panic. I was thinking Stealth/RPF/Health/Superintendent with maybe the recommendation from Flamu to get Adrenaline rush last if I ever get a 19 point captain.
